No. Each chapter submits a list of 10 - 15 refs that are their top ranked during the season. Each region and the UIL work together to select which chapters will get that region and then the uil chooses 4-6 refs from the list to work semis and finals in various combinations. Therefs for the state tournament comes from the same names.

However, if this is before the regional tournament level then the two schools mutually agree on a chapter (or uil picks if they can't) and the chapter selects the refs. But, I don't know of a chapter that doesn't send their best because a lot is on the line for the chapters as well.

For the most part, the more.professional and highly regarded your chapter is for officiating the more post season asdignments you get. While the UIL will give at least one game go every chapter for the state tourney, some get more games as well as games of more importance (championships or higher classes).
